ResinTech Core Bond Epoxy (CBE) — High-Bond 100% Solids Epoxy

Two-Component, 100% Solids High-Bond Epoxy — Primer, Bond Coat, Wear Coat, Broadcast Binder & Mortar Binder | Brand: ResinTech | 15 L kit

ResinTech CBE is a low-odour, two-component, 100% solids epoxy that wets into properly prepared concrete to create a strong bond for ResinTech flooring, coating and repair assemblies. It is the preferred ResinTech epoxy where adhesion, concrete consolidation and reinforced broadcast build matter more than UV stability or flexibility — the standard reinforcement / broadcast-binder layer in ResinTech traffic systems. Confirm system compatibility, film build, recoat windows and topcoat requirements against the current ResinTech TDS, SDS and project specification before use.

A ResinTech alternative to Tremco Vulkem 191 QD Primer & Tremco Epoxy Primer
ResinTech CBE Core Bond Epoxy is stocked in North Vancouver and used in the same epoxy primer, bond-coat and adhesion-promoter applications. Product chemistry and system build differ between manufacturers — confirm suitability against the current ResinTech TDS before substituting. Vulkem and Tremco are registered trademarks of Tremco.

Field	Details
Brand	ResinTech
Product Code	CBE
Product Type	Two-component, 100% solids high-bond epoxy
Kit / Pack Size	15 L kit — Part A 10 L + Part B 5 L (4.0 US gal mixed)
Colour / Finish	Clear to slightly amber; field-pigmented when approved
System Role	High-bond primer / bond coat / wear coat / broadcast binder / mortar binder — the standard reinforcement layer in ResinTech systems

Where CBE sits in the system: CBE is the high-bond epoxy used as a primer, bond coat, broadcast binder and reinforced wear layer in ResinTech traffic coating systems (PTS / VTS / EWS). Where UV exposure, chemical service or a decorative finish is required, protect CBE with an HPP or CRU topcoat. Where a premium or UV-resistant epoxy build layer is preferred, ResinTech TUE may be substituted for CBE. Confirm the system build against the current ResinTech system specification.

Best-Use Applications

Confirm all applications against the current ResinTech TDS before specifying.

Concrete primer under epoxy, polyaspartic and urethane systems
Bond coat for overlays, toppings, patch repairs and cove bases
Interior wear coat where UV exposure is limited
Broadcast receiver for silica sand, quartz and decorative flake systems
Epoxy mortar binder for patching, ramps, coves and floor detailing
High-bond base resin for parkade, warehouse and service-area assemblies

Performance Properties

Typical values from the ResinTech CBE TDS. Actual results depend on substrate, preparation, mixing, film build and conditions — confirm against the current TDS.

Property	Typical Value	Test Method / Note
Bond Strength to Concrete	420 psi	ASTM D4541; highest-bond material in the ResinTech line (typically concrete cohesive failure)
Tensile Strength	5,100 psi	ASTM D412 / D638
Elongation	8%	Rigid epoxy; not a crack-bridging membrane
Abrasion Resistance	50 mg loss	ASTM D4060, CS-17 wheel, 1000 g, 1000 cycles
Shore Hardness	80 D	ASTM D2240
Tack-Free Time	6 hours	ASTM D1640 at 15 mils
Drying Time	8 hours at 15 mils	ASTM D1640, 24 °C / 50% RH
UV Stability	Limited	Use HPP or CRU topcoat for UV exposure, or choose TUE for a UV-resistant epoxy
Chemical Resistance	Moderate	Use CRU topcoat for stronger chemical service

Working Time, Recoat & Cure

Times vary with temperature, film build and conditions. Cold slabs slow cure; hot conditions shorten pot life. Confirm against the current TDS.

Temp	Pot Life	Min Recoat	Max Recoat	Foot Traffic	Full Cure
10 °C	50–60 min	18–24 h	36–48 h	48–72 h	~10 days
20 °C	35–40 min	10–18 h	24 h	~24 h	~7 days
30 °C	15–20 min	6–10 h	24 h	12–18 h	4–5 days

If the maximum recoat window is exceeded, abrade to remove gloss, vacuum thoroughly and clean before recoating.

Coverage & Film Build

Per US gallon (15 L kit ≈ 4.0 US gal). Actual coverage varies with profile, porosity, film build and method — confirm against the current TDS.

Primer / Base Coat	6–10 mils	240–160 ft²/US gal
Bond Coat	Thin continuous film	405–245 ft²/US gal
Wear Coat	10–20 mils	160–80 ft²/US gal
Broadcast Receiver	10–20 mils before broadcast	145–100 ft²/US gal plus aggregate
Mortar / Cove Binder	Filled with clean dry aggregate	Varies with aggregate ratio and detail size

Application Notes

Always confirm application requirements against the current TDS, SDS and project specification before use.

Surface Preparation

Concrete must be sound, clean, dry and free of laitance, curing compounds, sealers, oil, grease and bond breakers. Mechanically prepare to ICRI CSP 2–3 for primer/basecoat use and CSP 3–4 for broadcast, wear coat or vehicular-duty use. Shot blast, grind or scarify as needed; vacuum until dust is removed from pores and profile. Repair cracks, joints, spalls and edges before application. Test existing coatings for adhesion and compatibility; remove unsound or unknown coatings. Do not apply to wet concrete, active water intrusion or condensation — CBE is not a moisture-mitigation system. Confirm against the current TDS.

Mixing

Condition materials to application temperature before use. Pre-mix Part A; add pigment to Part A first when a pigmented coat is required. Add Part B at 2:1 by volume and mix mechanically for 3–4 minutes at low speed. Scrape sides and bottom of the pail and avoid whipping air into the material. Do not thin with solvents. Do not hand-mix partial kits unless accurately measured. For mortar, add clean dry aggregate only after Part A and Part B are fully mixed. Confirm against the current TDS.

Application & Broadcast

Prime / coat by squeegee, roller or brush; backroll to a continuous film and eliminate puddles. For broadcast, cast silica sand, quartz or flake into the wet CBE at the specified rate and remove all loose aggregate after cure. For mortar and coves, blend mixed CBE with clean dry aggregate to the selected consistency and finish while workable. Check wet film thickness; excessive thickness can increase heat, blush or cure inconsistency. Confirm against the current TDS.

Limitations

Not UV stable as a final exposed exterior coating — yellowing/chalking may occur. Use an HPP or CRU topcoat for UV-exposed service, or specify TUE where a UV-resistant epoxy is needed.
Not flexible and not intended to bridge dynamic cracks, moving joints or structural movement.
Not a standalone waterproofing membrane or moisture-vapour mitigation system.
Do not apply to wet, frozen, contaminated or dusty substrates.
Avoid thick unfilled pours or puddles due to exotherm and cure inconsistency.
Colour and gloss can vary with film thickness, temperature, substrate absorption and pigmenting method.
